Rooted in Prayer: 31-Day Devotional on Abiding, Surrender, & Legacy

Do you ever feel the weight of someone else’s burden—longing to lift them up but unsure how?

Prayer is not only personal. It is powerful when offered for others.
This devotional is your invitation to stand in the gap.

Today, we carry others to the throne:
The Call to Intercession.

📖 Scripture for Today

“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land…” — Ezekiel 22:30 (NIV)

💬 Theme

Prayer is not only inward—it is outward, lifting others before God.

🪷 The Power of Standing in the Gap

Intercession is love in action.

When you intercede, you take someone else’s need and present it before God as if it were your own. It is advocacy in prayer, compassion expressed through faith, and partnership with heaven’s purposes.

To intercede means to carry, to plead, to stand. It is the posture of compassion, the practice of advocacy, and the power of community.

Prayer doesn’t begin with self.
It begins with standing for others.

🙏 Today’s Prayer

Father, place Your compassion in my heart.
Teach me to carry the burdens of others before You.
Let my intercession today release healing, hope, and breakthrough for generations.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
